9 Lessons Learned From HBO Dads

Being a father isn't easy. Here's some lessons we've learned from our favorite fathers on HBO—though we certainly wouldn't recommend putting them all to use. Join us in celebrating Father's Day, June 16, on HBO!

1. If you don't like who your daughter is dating, send 'em to Kazakhstan.

2. Or beat him up.

3. If your girlfriend's pregnant, it's probably a good idea to try to make it work.

4. If there's a chance you might get brutally murdered, you should probably tell your kid that she's a fairy.

5. Just because he's your adopted father doesn't mean he's not really your father.

6. Even if it's not YOUR kid, sometimes you have to sacrifice a doll's head to help out another child.

7. If you brand your son with a hot poker, he's probably going to end up with an anger problem. Or two.

8. Value your honor above all else.

9. Being a vampire "dad" is like being a human dad. Kind of.
